Sumanta K. Pal shared a post on X:

“At ASCO24 – an incredibly important topic being addressed by Rachna Shroff and colleagues on June 3 at 10:45 am in E450a. Looking across 5y of ASCO and GIASCO symposia, they identify significant gaps in M v F abstract presenters and the difference is quite staggering (ASCO 76% vs 24%, ASCO GI 78% vs 22%, p <0.001 for both). Let’s band goether and figure out how to address this.”
